Rate-Splitting Construction of Polar Coded Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (harq) Scheme

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the code rate is further based on at least one of a first signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) associated with the first communication signal, a second SNR associated with the second communication signal, a first noise parameter associated with first communication signal, or a second noise parameter associated with the second communication signal.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the code rate is further based on at least one of a first codeword length associated with the plurality of information bits in the first communication signal, a second codeword length associated with the subset of the plurality of information bits in the second communication signal, or a total number of the plurality of information bits.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first encoding is based on a first polar code, and wherein the second encoding is based on a second polar code.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein first decoding is further based on a first polar code, and wherein the second decoding is further based on a second polar code.
